Boiler Control
Improving Efficiency of Boiler Systems
Chapter 2 covers the technical background for boiler control in order
to provide the reader with some basic knowledge of the technologies
discussed in later chapters. The different fuels used in boilers are investigated
and compared with respect to some key factors. The most
common types of commercial boilers are described in short. Finally
some definitions used in boiler context are explained.
Chapter 3 covers techniques that are commonly used in boiler control
systems. Each technique is explained with regard to what is involved,
what can be measured and how these measurements can be used to
improve the efficiency of the system.
Chapter 4 details several case studies that aim at establishing what
techniques are generally used in practice for boiler control.
